ROAMING THE EARTH | JYH

The ground felt extremely unfamiliar underneath my bare feet, and yet I know this will be my first and last time on Earth. Might as well make myself look more presentable, after all he hasn't seen me for over ten years. With a quick snap of my fingers I changed out of my white shirt and pants, a light grey t-shirt and black baggy jeans taking their place in return. Black converse high covering my feet while I swung the leather jacket over my shoulder. I started walking on the sidewalk looking at myself in the store windows. Something's missing. I ruffled with my hand through my brown messy curls, frowning my eyebrows. Hah, right! I snapped my fingers once again as a pair of sunglasses covered my eyes.

"Damn, I look hot!" I said to myself looking at my own reflection
"Yes, you do"

I flinched and turned around only to notice this girl looking intensely at me. She was extremely beautiful, her hazel eyes scanning my features while she was swinging sheepishly on her feet, taking occasional sips out of her take-away coffee. I couldn't notice how her outfit was similar to mine, only she had a pink fluffy backpack accompanying her. Cute.

"T-thank you" I scratched my nape shyly. She nodded her head at me walking away with this wide smile on her face. Her black long ponytail swinging over her back as she moved further and further away. She looked over her back on last time before disappearing into a crowd of people and yet I couldn't remove my eyes from the direction she went to. Am I finally starting to understand him? I shook my head fast trying to regain my composure. That's not what I'm here for, I have to stay focused.

I took a deep breath and proceeded walking towards my destination. My brother.

"Where have you been?" I crossed my hands over my chest as soon as he stepped out of the portal room. He flinched and turned around signaling me to stay quiet.
"I-I had to go okay? It was her birthday, I couldn't miss it" Yunho whispered tilting his head down to the floor.

"I mean you don't necessarily have to explain this to me, but mom's gonna flip it if she finds out, you know this right?" I quirked my eyebrows at him proceeding to walk away as he followed from behind.
"You didn't tell her?" He asked unsure.

What am I, four? Of course I didn't tell her. He has every right to ask me though. When we were kids I kinda, well most of the time..ugh fine, all the time I told mom and dad whatever he did. Even if it was bad or good, I was always there to report it to our parents. Yeah, yeah, I know what you think "the annoying clingy younger sibling". Well, I was one indeed, but not anymore. Especially not now since I know why he went there for. For his love. That I can't yet understand since I've never been in love before, but maybe one day I'll know what it's like.

"No. I didn't tell her" I scoffed opening the door to my room as he invited himself in, plopping on my bed sighing loudly "How is she?" I leaned on my back next to him looking up at the ceiling.
"She's...sad" He rested his hands on his chest "I think she really misses me, Gunho" He turned his face to me but I kept my eyes glued on the ceiling.

I know what this means. He wants to go back for good. And I? I'll lose my brother, forever. Well, not actually but once he's there long enough he'll forget me, and I don't know if I can go trough this without loosing my mind. I love him endlessly, he's my best friend and I can't comprehend a life without him. But even so, I know what she means to him and I know once he chooses to stay here he'll never be the same again.

"So then go to her" I mustered the courage to look at him, my eyes glistening with tears. His eyes mimicking mines. "Go to her Yunho. Go live your love story, build a life with her. You deserved this brother" I took his hand, our fingers interfering with each other.
"What, and leave you here alone?" He sniffed "I can't do this. Not to you" He wiped the tear that escaped his eye, lazily falling on his face.
